Standing at the crossroads, world spinning 'round and 'round Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down Don't you try and teach me no original sin I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in I don't wanna change the world I don't want the world to change me I don't want to change the world I don't want to world to change me Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you I spoke to God this morning and He don't like you For telling all the people the original sin He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him I don't wanna change the world I don't want the world to change me I don't want to change the world I don't want to world to change me You know it ain't easy You know it ain't fair So don't try to please me Because I really don't care Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories Have gone away, so far away I've heard it said there's a light up ahead Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you I spoke to God this morning and He don't like you Don't you try and teach me no original sin I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in I don't wanna change the world I don't want the world to change me I don't want to change the world I don't want to world to change me I don't wanna change the world I don't want the world to change me I don't want to change the world I don't want to world to change me
